I wouldn’t necessarily call myself an art aficionado by any means but I can certainly appreciate great work when I see it and like most others in my age demographic, pop and abstract art are the genres I tend to gravitate to the most. Most likely because of the use of identifiable imagery drawn from […]
I bet if we were all told 5 years ago that we were going to be in a long term lockdown due to a global pandemic, working from home for a year, perpetually having to wear K95 face masks whenever we left the house for “essentials”, with kids doing remote learning from home, never in […]
Google+ hangouts are becoming really popular these days, especially in the fashion and beauty industry. It’s an amazing way for brands to connect, engage and interact with the consumer. Today I am happy to announce that Tiffany & Co will be holding a very special “digital hangout” hosted by their Design Director Francesca Amfitheatrof, model […]
Video shot & edited by Robert Okine (robertokine.com) | Music “It’s New” Produced by SOUL Thanks to Cadillac Canada I rode in style all summer long in a few vehicles from the brand’s 2014 line to get better acquainted with the design, performance and technology that can be found within it’s current portfolio. After spending […]
My love of interior design and Pinterest has fuelled my obsession with Carrera marble in recent months. Growing up my family’s homes over the years have always had beautiful stone work (granite and marble) because my Father has been in the business for 35 years, but there is something about classic Carrera that I will […]
If it’s not a toy, then you are probably thinking, “Well then what are they?” just like I did when I received the announcement and press release in my inbox as few weeks ago. Although I was flummoxed, the minute I read that Producer, Singer, Songwriter and avid art collector Pharrell Williams was a part […]
One of my all time favourite design duos Patrick Gilles and Dorothee Boissier of Gilles et Boissier have very different views on design, which is probably why they have such a unique aesthetic – neither minimalist or decorative. Known for their outstanding interior design work at the Michelin star Hakkasan restaurant properties, Baccarat Hotel & […]
Evian has finally unveiled the images for it’s 2014 limited edition glass bottle, designed by Lebanese Fashion Designer Elie Saab, which is a joint celebration in both brand’s pursuit of purity in design. For the last six years I’ve collected every single bottle Evian has produced in conjunction with international fashion brands like a crazy […]
Whenever someone says that fashion is such a shallow industry and it has little relevance or importance in “real life” I laugh for two reasons; 1) the person making this statement usually is not very fashion/style savvy and 2) It is a ludicrous comment because I know how much fashion influences art, music, film and […]
As much as I love fashion, I’m equally obsessed with interior design and my idea of the perfect weekend would be literally watching HGTV all day only to take periodic washroom breaks and creep interior design inspiration on Pinterest during commercial breaks. I mean…fashion and interior design are closely related in my personal opinion so […]
Kind of hard to believe that until now my great country of Canada was not formally recognizing and celebrating the achievements of our great talent in the fashion and arts community. But last week CAFA (the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards) announced that there will be an inaugural gala which will take place in the […]
